Oriel Glassworks

One roof, one crew

Our fabrication shop and install crew work under one roof. The person who measures your opening is in the shop when the glass is cut.

How we work

  1. Site measure

    Templated on site, never guessed from a photo.

  2. Shop drawing

    You approve the drawing before anything is cut.

  3. Cut and edge

    Made to the approved drawing in our shop.

  4. Set and walk

    Installed, cleaned and checked with you on site.

Rosalind Vane

Owner and estimator

Started as a glazier's apprentice and still does most site measures herself. If you have a question about a quote, she answers it.

Emmett Draycott

Shop foreman

Runs the cutting tables and checks every panel against its template before it goes on the truck.

Where we started

Oriel began as a repair van and a borrowed corner of a cabinet shop. The van still runs. The rule hasn't moved: measure it ourselves, then get the price out before the customer has to chase us for it.
